Seriously? Of all the places to send me on an impromptu sabbatical, I get to go to the place where Great Gatsbies go to die? There better not be pools involved.

In the words of Obi, I got a bad feeling about this.

So far no pools. Though two weeks ago it was an underground Ancient Egyptian sandstorm so I can't guarantee the great flood won't be next.

[ AREN'T YOU EXCITED, SKYE? ]

[battleshipping]

[EXCITED? No, not remotely.]

I hope neither, I didn't pack my sea-splitting staff.

[twentytwenty]

[ It'll be fine. ]

Believe me, I've been dealing with threats the old fashioned way. What I wouldn't give for some standard issue weaponry. [ A pause. ] You'll be fine. I'm going to make sure of that.

Seconding the sandstorm and a lot of other crazy shit.

Is she absolutely sure that she wants to throw you into this hellhole?

[battleshipping]

Apparently, yes. How screwed am I on a scale from 0 to yes?

[bigblondmotherhen]

[ have a wince ]

[sturmhond]

No, but there's a pier, coasted with water that you wouldn't want to get into if they paid you.

Which they don't, let's be clear on that.

[ And he smiles. ]

Will you be joining us, lovely?

NOT HERE

[twentytwenty]

[ HE IS WATCHING YOU.

ONE WRONG STEP AND YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT HIS GUN DOES. ]

[sturmhond]

[ Oh dear, you're not attached are you?

This could be very amusing. Always a pleasure, Coulson. ]

[debts]

[ Make that two people watching you, Anakin. ]

[battleshipping]

Then I'm guessing there's no time for swimming.

[sturmhond]

No doubt you could make time, but I think your health and wellbeing would regret it.

Zelien's a dangerous place. Don't let them lie to you about that, but there are worse places to be stuck.

[thelittlestbub]

Dude, I'm revoking your geek card. It was Han that said that, not Obi Wan.

[battleshipping]

I was testing you. You passed.

[thelittlestbub]

Of course I did. There is a very angry Jewish geek who would shove me into a wall if I didn't get that.

And then she'd lock my phone and I'd never get into it. I fear and respect her power.

[debts]

It'll be good to see you.

[battleshipping]

[Holy Lola, she's only seen footage from New York of her but she's pretty sure this is the woman even May would bow down in front of and

yeah.]

Be...cause...I'm so...nice?

[debts]

Because it's a chance for me to see what Coulson sees in you.

[ So like, no pressure or anything. ]

[bettercallit]

Well, you've got good instincts, that'll get you far.

[debts]

Look at you, supporting the ducklings.

[twentytwenty]

Don't call them ducklings.

[ W O W. ]

[bettercallit]

[ It's not because he cares at all, nope. ]

You never know when we might need them to save our asses.

[battleshipping]

Instincts and balls, that's me.

[battleshipping]

Make it instincts and ovaries. Balls are easily kicked.

You're going where books go to die? Okay, Nick really can't help it. But he's also a little intrigued. Where do Great Gatsbies go to die?
